Worth adding to your itinerary

“Noodles, braised dishes, and soup can be combined freely. The beef fat and sesame flavor is distinctive, and the shop also earned a bowl in the 2024 《500 Bowls》 selection, worth a short detour from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station.”

THE STORY

The story behind this place

How “Kuai Dao Shou” became the shop name

A 2021 opening report noted that the operator had helped in the family noodle shop since childhood and spent years slicing braised foods. Her quick knife work earned the nickname “Kuai Dao Shou,” which later became the name of the new Guangfu South Road shop.

The Guangfu branch officially opened on 2021/1/2, bringing beef-fat noodles, sesame noodles, and braised dishes into a brighter restaurant format. Today, one bowl of Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles and freshly sliced braised foods still tells that founding story.

Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles

Sesame sauce and beef fat settle at the bottom. Once mixed, sesame aroma, savory richness, and a smooth coating wrap every strand—the clearest introduction to the house flavor.

Braised Platter

Carrot, chicken intestines, and pig’s feet offer sweetness, springiness, and gelatinous textures, suited to sharing with dry noodles according to group size.

Wonton and Pork Ball Soup MetroBites visit photo

Wonton and Pork Ball Soup

Large pork balls bring meaty aroma, small wontons add tender wrappers, and clear pork-bone broth balances the richer dry noodles and braised foods.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Taipei’s late-night rhythm: noodles with braised dishes

Dry noodles, clear soup, and freshly sliced braised foods are a familiar, flexible Taipei noodle-shop meal. Here, beef fat intensifies the sesame aroma, while different braised cuts add texture, creating a substantial formula from lunch into late night.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Mix dry noodles from the bottom

Reach your chopsticks to the bottom of the bowl as soon as the Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles arrive, lifting and mixing the settled sauce through every strand. If ordering braised dishes too, choose the portion according to your group size.

✨ AI Quick Take

《東引快刀手 光復店》 carries forward the noodles and braised-food foundation of the longtime Dongyin snack shop on Nanjing East Road, operated as a separate second-generation brand. From lunch until late at night, Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles, Wonton and Pork Ball Soup, and freshly sliced braised dishes support the menu. The room is brighter than a traditional late-night noodle shop—ideal when you want bold flavors without standing in cooking fumes.

Uncle’s line: Late-night noodle shops are honest. You can tell whether the food is good by how fast everyone lowers their head and starts mixing.

東引快刀手 is run by the daughter of the Dongyin snack shop’s owner. “Quick knife” is not only a catchy name; it echoes the crisp movements used to slice braised foods. The old shop’s noodles, soups, and assorted braised cuts moved into a brighter format. There is also a Neihu location beyond Guangfu, though branches can change, so check before crossing town. Do not let a late-night meal turn into a night tour.

Setting and dining atmosphere:The shop is brightly lit, with more comfortable seating than an old-style noodle shop. Braised items are visible near the entrance and counter. Dinner through late night draws the main crowd, sometimes alongside a rush of delivery orders. Uncle’s advice: do not roll your eyes at a full room. Traffic is inevitable when someone is still cooking noodles for you after dark.

Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市松山區光復南路54號, near Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. It is about a 7- to 8-minute walk along Guangfu South Road from 國父紀念館站. Hours usually run from lunch until 2 a.m.; confirm actual hours and days off with the shop. Crowds are more likely from 9 to 11 p.m., so shift earlier or later if you do not want to wait.
● Braised Platter

Braised foods form an essential thread here. Carrot, chicken intestines, and pig’s feet each bring a different texture: carrot absorbs the braising liquid while keeping its sweetness, intestines stay springy, and pig’s feet add skin, fat, and gelatin. Ask whether some items can be ordered by the half portion. Solo diners need not cover the table for pride and then pack leftovers like they are moving house.

● Braised Fried Tofu

The holes in this airy fried tofu soak up plenty of braising liquid. It often arrives hot enough to spray juice at the first bite. Let it cool briefly and eat slowly from a corner, so you do not lose the power of speech immediately. It works alone or alongside dry noodles, linking savory sauce with the texture of soy products.

● Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles

The sauce gathers at the bottom, so mix until every noodle wears sesame sauce. Beef fat adds savory aroma and smoothness to the sesame fragrance. The flavor is rich without turning merely dry and sticky; a faint bitterness at the finish is part of the deep sesame profile. A large bowl is fine—just decide first whether you still plan to tackle the braised foods.

Important reminder:Mix the Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles as soon as they arrive; the sauce is all underneath. If you eat the plain noodles on top and complain that they taste weak, even your brother here cannot save you.

● Wonton and Pork Ball Soup

The large pork ball catches the eye first, releasing juices and a firm meaty aroma when bitten. Small wontons add silky wrappers and filling, while clear pork-bone broth cleans up a table of braised foods and dry noodles. Beside a strongly flavored main, hot soup takes better care of tomorrow’s you than another spoonful of chili oil.

💡 Ordering note

📌 Editor’s wrap-up

《東引快刀手 光復店》 brings a longtime noodle-and-braised-food tradition into a brighter room. Beef-Fat Sesame Noodles are rich, Braised Fried Tofu sprays juice, and Wonton and Pork Ball Soup puts the brakes on the late-night feast. This is not dainty food in tiny portions; it is a practical combination that settles the stomach after dark. Next time hunger gets moody, this uncle will think of the quick knife before the convenience store.
